Alex175 784 #1 Posted January 7, 2021 A couple of weeks ago a local "Pickers" company started a fire sale on their entire inventory, the building they are in sold and the new landlord is raising their rent so they need to dump their stock to make it easier when it comes time to move. So I went down to look around and see if I could find any good Christmas presents for anyone, as it ended up I only left with a bunch of stuff for myself, but at the prices they offered I couldn't resist. Got plenty of basic fun things, like a Brinley plow, a dethatcher, and a walk behind snowblower, but there were some really fun and amazing big items. I am extremely excited about everything I was able to snag, but finding a Pennsylvania Panzer T75, in decent condition, despite being apart, for what I can only describe as a jaw dropping price is the crown jewel of the collection. Should have everything in the tub to put it all together. It's in a good enough shape I will probably just get it up and running and mechanically sound for now, and then in the future if I am feeling it (and have finished a long list of other restorations in waiting) I may do a restoration, but for now I'll keep it original. My wife and I have been watching a lot of videos on YouTube lately about wood turning. It's something I have always wanted to try, and after watching some she is excited to learn more about it as well, so when I found a lathe buried under a rack of other stuff I pulled that out, and found a standalone buffing/polishing station complete with an undercabinet vacuum assembly as well. If anyone has any experience with wood turning, and knows of any good resources on how to get started, please share them! I'm slowly working on building a little wood shop in my basement and hope to have it operational in a few months. 4 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I noticed a few sub models when I was doing some quick research on it, haven't gotten a chance to dig too deeply into it yet. I am making an assumption here, but is the ES Electric Start?

WHNJ701 4,165 #9 Posted January 8, 2021 The manuals are available online, if you can't find let me know. The reverse puc looks shot on yours, hapco parts sells them. The battery mounts under the seat just use caution with the size of the battery with clearance to the seat. Other than that they are very basic. I would pull the drums and clean adjust the brakes. The inverted mopar rear will last forever. Compared to other garden tractors they do ride rough, but they are fun and get lots of attention. Both my boys started on them each around age 4, with the hand clutch/drive makes it easy for the kids. I plowed snow a few times with my t60 and t70 just to try it which they both did well. Now like the rest of the collection they get driven just around the property a few times a year. Good luck with it and post some pictures pics when it's all together. Nice to keep it in original paint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
